In the words of Mary Tyler Moore “pain nourishes your courage, you have to fail in order to practice being brave”. This clearly summarised the situation in Ms. Ige’s class, when one of the contestants, Mirabel looked unsettled while rehearsing her song.

Ms. Ige was on her way out of the Academy after an extensive voice training session with the contestants when she was told not to leave just yet. The contestants pleaded with her to spare a few more minutes for them as they were confident she would like the surprise package they had put together for her.
